Positioning objects
You can position objects by dragging them to a new location, by nudging, or by specifying their horizontal and vertical coordinates.
Nudging lets you move an object in increments by pressing the Arrow keys. The increment value is known as “nudge distance.” Micro-
nudging lets you move an object by a fraction of the nudge distance. Super-nudging lets you move an object by a multiple of the nudge
distance. By default, you can nudge objects in 0.1-inch increments, but you can change this increment value to suit your needs. You can also
change micro-nudge and super-nudge values.
To position an object, you can set horizontal and vertical coordinates that are relative to the center anchor point, or other anchor point, of
the object.
You can also move an object to another page. For more information, see “To move an object to another page” on page 507.

You can move an object to another page by dragging the object over a page number tab at the bottom of the document window
